pope benedict celebrated palm sunday's mass in st. peters square. he spoke in several languages addressing the crowd that came from all around the world but he did not address the sexual abuse crisis that has put a cloud of suspicion over the catholic church as it begins its most l solemn week in the calendar year. this is the week when the church commemorates the death of jesus christ and then his rising from the dead on easter sunday. the pope will be very visible this week and many people are looking here to rome to see if the pope will say anything about this crisis. it is not -- it is no longer just an american problem. within the last couple of weeks there have been accusations of sexual abuse in the netherlands, in germany -- that's where pope benedict comes from -- in ireland, in france, and pope benedict is now getting caught up in the scandal in part because there are accusations that when he was a cardinal that he looked the other way in two cases. one in munich and one in wisconsin. there are people who believe he should have stepped in.

. >>> pope benedict is presiding over what is believed to be his final mass on this ash wednesday. nbc's chris jansing is live on phone now inside the vatican where the general audience is listening to pope benedict. good morning. >> good morning. i just seconds stepped out from that audience. i can tell you when the pope made his appearance, the reaction was absolutely ecstatic. he walked without help to the chair and now for several minutes has been reading a statement which is traditional at these audiences saying that he decided to step down for the good of the church and thanking people for their prayers. this is the first of two appearances later today will be the mass which will be held at st. peter's. typically it is held at a much smaller church in rome. this is the really last important day in the church calendar where he'll preside as pope before stepping down on february 28th. the timing, we are told, part of his own plan is that he would like to have a new pope in place in time for easter. but the pope making his final appearance as you're able to see from rome. i can

good morning. >> reporter: a day after the shocking announcement by pope benedict that he'll resign, more details remerging about that decision. the vatican's own newspaper says that decision was taken months ago, right after his trip to mexico and cuba in march 2012. that's when the pope realized he was too old and too weak to just perform the duties of a pontiff including, of course, transatlantic trouble. what's going to happen now? february 28th at 8:00 in the evening rome time he's going to stop being the poem and he won't have any more powers over the catholic church. he'll then retire to the summer residence of the pope. and when a new pope is elected hopefully right before easter, then he'll retire to a life of spirituality to a closer convent inside vatican city. >> thank you so much. >>> turning now to weather. some connecticut residents are still digging out from this weekend's big blizzard. in hampton, they're using heavy equipment and snow blowers and shovels to clear the streets of three feet of snow. some are upset that secondary roads weren't plowed. the heavy snow fa

we will see pope benedict twice today. he will preside over a service at st. peters later this afternoon. tonight he will lead a procession at rome's coliseum marking the way of the cross. this is good friday, of course, the day where christians around the world and catholics mark the day christ died. this year catholics are also trying to understand the scandal of priest sexual abuse. as pope benedict performed the rituals of holy thursday, washing the feet of 12 priests as jesus washed the feet of the apostles at the last supper and blessing holy oils, he made no mention of the crisis, accusations that church leaders, perhaps even the pope himself, did not do enough to protect children from sexually abusive priests. the pope is the target of some victims' lawyers. they want to question the pontiff under oath about the alleged cover-up of predator priests. the vatican's top lawyer says as a head of state the pope has immunity. legal experts say they would have to prove a chain of control from the pope to the abusing priest. >> the catholic church is not the m
